from Unmute with Priya: Finding Your Voice at Midlife · host Priya Sudarsanam
What if self-care has nothing to do with bubble baths, spa days, or checking things off a wellness checklist?In this episode, I sit down with well-being educator, speaker, author, and Self-Care Sensei Jan Raeder for a powerful conversation about what self-care really means. Jan shares how her background in martial arts, well-being education, and positive psychology shaped her approach to helping people move beyond old stories, limiting beliefs, and the patterns that keep them stuck.We explore why so many of us are suffering from the stories we've attached to our past, how anxiety is often rooted in a future that doesn't exist yet, and why true well-being starts with the relationship we have with ourselves. Jan also shares practical wisdom on perspective, resilience, not taking things personally, and finding meaning in life's most difficult crossroads.If you've ever found yourself asking, "Who am I now?" or wondering how to move forward after a major life transition, this conversation is filled with insights that can help you see your life through a different lens.SelfCare Sensei: Jan Raeder - The SelfCare SenseiBook: Strive for M.O.R.E.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-raederMIT Talk: Available through Jan's website
